Organizations are shifting from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to hybrid WAN architectures, using Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) to provision and manage the WAN environment.
According to Gartner analysts:
More than 50% of WAN edge infrastructure refresh initiatives will be based on SD-WAN versus traditional routers by 2020.
Examples of benefits you can achieve with Cisco SD-WAN:
MPLS can’t keep up with changes in technology.
MPLS can’t provide the bandwidth and security you need to keep pace with rapid advances in technology. SD-WAN enables you not just to do more with less, but also to transform the way you do business.
Cisco-powered, cloud-managed SD-WAN delivers an end-to-end secure platform across the WAN, data center and cloud.
